2026 Old Testament Overview | Come Follow Me | Faith Insights with Tyler Griffin

Understanding the Old Testament through the "Window and Mirror" Analogy Are you struggling to find relevance in the ancient language, culture, and events of the Old Testament? Many people feel that this sacred book is too far removed from modern life to be truly helpful. This video shares powerful tools and a unique analogy to help you discover deep, personal meaning and connection with Jesus Christ on every page! We'll teach you how to shift your perspective from feeling confused to finding profound, applicable insights. The Key: The "Window and Mirror" Analogy The scriptures act as both a Window and a Mirror: The Window (Distant View): Initially, the scripture shows you people, events, and cultures far removed from your own time—vistas way off in the distance. The Mirror (Reflective View): As you study, ponder, and connect with heaven, the "light inside" increases, causing the same page to become reflective. You begin to see your own life, struggles, and the hand of Jesus Christ in your modern circumstances. We explore how the Savior has left His "fingerprints" throughout the Old Testament and how you can develop a "Hebrew perspective" to uncover layer upon layer of meaning, especially in the symbolic language of the prophets. Quick Guide to the Old Testament's Structure To help you navigate, we break down the 39 books of the Old Testament into their main sections: The Law (Torah/Pentateuch): Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. The History: Joshua through Esther. The Wisdom/Poetry Books: Job through Song of Solomon. The Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the 12 Minor Prophets. Framework for Deeper Study Discover the powerful framework given by the Book of Mormon prophet Jacob: The Law of Moses (and all the Old Testament) was kept with the intent of "pointing our souls to him [Christ]" (Jacob 4:5). Stop reading the Old Testament as a distant history book. Start reading it as a map to find the Savior and a mirror to see His work in your own life today. 0:00 How can the Old Testament help us today? 1:08 Window view analogy 4:25 Structure of the Bible 9:15 Finding Jesus in the Old Testament 13:20 Flawed biblical figures facing challenges 17:57 Symbolic Hebrew perspective 22:15 Connecting with Christ through the OT 24:42 Brother Griffin’s content plan for 2026 This episode of Faith Insights, hosted by Tyler Griffin, was filmed on location in Oregon.
